Better tissue healing with disappearing hydrogels

Posted: 06 Jun 2014 03:49 PM PDT

When stem cells are used to regenerate bone tissue, many wind up migrating away from the repair site, which disrupts the healing process. But a research team makes use of a technique that keeps the stem cells in place, resulting in faster and better tissue regeneration.

Unmasking viral invaders with mass spectrometry

Posted: 05 Jun 2014 11:17 AM PDT

Using a technological platform commonly used in physics and chemistry called mass spectrometry, researchers describe the dynamics of a viral infection over a three-day course, discovering ways the pathogen evades the immune system and how certain viral proteins target and destroy human proteins that defend against infection.

Students' heart-shocking 'shirt' may save lives when paramedics are not nearby
